Dues categories and amounts are outlined below. Dues for public agencies and affiliates are calculated based on population. Municipality dues are based on total population of the community. Regional district/authority dues are based on population served. Dues for other member categories are a flat rate.
Public Agency – members who treat and convey wastewater, drinking water, and/or stormwater (if more than one municipal utility within a community provides these services, all may join under one membership in this category), or municipalities served by a regional authority for drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater treatment, where the regional authority is not a member.
Public Affiliate – members who are (1) utilities that only convey wastewater, drinking water, and/or stormwater or (2) municipalities. An example of a Public Affiliate is a community that is served by a larger regional authority to provide one or more services – drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater treatment – that could join in this category, if the principal authority is a Public Agency member. If the principal authority is not a member, the municipality may join as a full Public Agency member.
Consultant and Legal – corporations, limited liability partnerships, and similar organizations supporting the Coalition’s mission, goals, and objectives.
Nonprofit Organization – organizations with municipal members who support the Coalition’s mission, goals, and objectives, such as municipal stormwater coalitions.
Sustaining Business – entities whose core business is outside of the water and wastewater industry and who support the Coalition’s mission, goals, and objectives.
Supporting – professional associations, regional planning organizations, educational institutions, and other groups that support the Coalition’s mission, goals, and objectives.
Individual – students pursuing or exploring a career in water resources or retirees who worked in the water resources management profession and who support the Coalition’s mission, goals, and objectives.
